Hello friends! I'm wondering if the HD 7870 LE Myst edition is really as loud as people claim. My PC sits on my desktop and I can't hear my current GPU over my PSU fan (which sounds like a light blowing sound). I was thinking bout the EZ edition, But People are saying it's glitchy, and the XT is out of my budget.

I was going to buy a GTX 670. But AMD sold me on this LE card. So much performance for the money along with 3 games haha! So, anyone with any personal experience with this card, I hope to order later tomorrow!

Side note: I have a Phenom II x4 840, I plan on fully upgrading my CPU and my MoBo once SteamRoller comes around. But, How much of a bottleneck do you think I'll get when gaming?
 
Solution
To answer your question yes it is very loud when revved up. I just picked one up. Noise aside I'm pumped with this card, can definitely notice the extra power vs a standard 7870.
